Yes – something is wrong! It could be infection in the pocket or in its vicinity; electrical leak or stimulation from faulty insulation… You should be examined / investigated by your doctor
Once the wound has healed, as of now, there is no technical contraindication to wear a bra or take a shower
Take care Good luck
